2016 NHL Draft Discussion

Are we done? Dorion was trying to get Calgary's 7th round pick for Chiasson.

Anyone else surprised that Chychrun dropped so much?

Goes to show how past the top three two it's really a crapshoot.

Not me, cuz he was projected to go around there in the past month

One of the things HF I'd really good for is intestine reads on prospects.   They love our 2nd rounder

Real in-depth analysis, eh? Visceral stuff, goes right to the core since what's inside is what matter most.

Haha, yeah

Seriously? No team would give a 200th ov for chiasson?

Brown and Dahlen getting a ton of love.

I'd like to add that I'm not surprised. There's a few worries about how good he will be.

I don't really read what Sens fans habe to say, it's more thr people that have posted about a player all year and have no allegiance to Ottawa that I care about.

Who cares what someone who hasn't seen him play has to say?

What about what the Sens scouts have to say?

That is pretty shocking.

But you know I'm gonna hold you personally responsible if brown doesn't pan out to be more than a 3rd liner. Gonna hold that over your head for the rest of your life. Spezz has the trade stone and you will have draft Brown.

Fair enough.  You might also keep track of who was taken at or after the 12 spot in the third round.  

Actually that's the wrong pick. It's really confusing. First, there was a compensatory pick in the second round (53rd overall) which means the third round started at 62, not 61. So the 12th spot in that round was actually 63, not 62 as I thought initially. But that's not the pick that the Sens exchanged for moving up to 11; they actually gave up the Islanders' 3rd round pick (80th overall), which they received as part of the Prince trade. Interestingly, the Sens' own 3rd round pick (73rd overall) also went to the Devils as a result of a trade last year involving swapping 2nd round picks (which they used to grab Gabriel Gagne). It's actually way more complicated than that as the picked they swapped in 2015 was actually a Dallas pick and there was also a condition involved in the 2016 draft.

Phew!

So, bottom line, keep track of who was taken (or was available) at the 80th spot.

Underachieving big guys?

Brown and Paul are not underachievers.

Hmm, two centers and a winger; two Americans and a Canadian; two righties and a leftie. And while Paul (6'4") and Brown (6'6") are big, Ryan (6'1") is not exactly in the same range.

So, not sure what Ev is hinting at. Their (lack of) foot speed?

I was going for players with two first names. But now I realize I failed

Some would say that "Logan" is a last name ("Logan Airport" in Boston).
